Chapter 1545: Chapter 1544: I Believe in the Pri Minister Left
Bei Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing this but said no more.
With his silence, the interrogation of those from the Yu Residence began.
The people from the Yu Residence were unaware of what had transpired, only knowing that the treasures of the residence had gone missing. To clear their own nas, they detailed the events of when Yu Ang appraised the treasures with exceptional clarity.
Their expressions did not seem feigned.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai’s doubts only deepened, and she couldn’t help but glance at Bei Yun.
Bei Yun snorted, “What was appraised by the minister back then was a fake, just like the Segnts. The minister harbored ambitions to rise to the heavens in a single step as well.”
This statent caused Yu Ang, who had just cald down, to shake with anger, his beard trembling, “Whether the family heirloom is a fake or not, I surely know! Do not throw dirt on !”
“Miss Qiao, he is a malicious ghost who has killed tens of thousands of innocent people. How can you believe his words?!”
“My words may not be credible, but at least when it cos to the Ascension of Jiufeng, I did not lie; indeed, that artifact is not in your residence,” Bei Yun retorted, cracking sunflower seeds and smiling.
“It might have been stolen. I think it was you who stole it!” Yu Ang exclaid angrily.
“Eh, honorable minister, you can eat food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly,” Bei Yun replied, sitting up straight, his smile fading, “It was clearly your grandson who used the treasure as a down paynt and sent it away. What does that have to do with ?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Ang imdiately turned to Yu Zizhou, “Zizhou, swear on my life, have you ever tampered with the treasure?!”
“I have not!” Yu Zizhou responded resolutely, even through gritted teeth, staring fiercely at Bei Yun, “Divine Doctor, by making such false accusations against , do you think you’ll benefit from the truth when it cos out?!”
“The Warehouse where Jiufeng is stored is secured with nine iron locks. The keys are kept by my grandfather. How could I possibly take them without making a sound?”
“Divine Doctor, do you dare swear upon the heavens that everything you’ve said is true?!”
“I dare.” Bei Yun stretched out his hand and swore, “If what I’ve said is a lie, may I be struck down by lightning.”
“You also know about the nine locks on your family’s warehouse. With nine locks in place, how could I steal? I’m just a physician; do you take for a master thief?”
As he spoke, Bei Yun turned his head to Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, slinging mud should have its limits, don’t you agree?”
Qiao Xiaomai, frowning, began to speak, “The disappearance of the treasure is true, but so is the minister’s appraisal in the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, Bei Yun, your claim that Zizhou used the treasure as a down paynt to the Tianlong Gang must be false.”
Hearing this, Bei Yun quickly shook his head, “Miss Qiao, what if the people of his residence conspired to protect the minister? What if what the minister appraised that day was a fake?”
“That does make so sense,” Qiao Xiaomai nodded. “However, I still tend to believe the minister more.”
“Why?!” Bei Yun asked, unconvinced.
“Because, just as the rumors have said, it was because of my association with the Jiwei Residence that I began to prosper. I have always been mindful of this kindness,” Qiao Xiaomai asserted, looking at Bei Yun with deliberation in her words.
Bei Yun, “…You’ve taken over Jiwei Residence, speaking of trust… it really doesn’t hold much weight…”
“Taking Jiwei Residence was not my intent. At that ti, Zizhou had accumulated gambling debts amounting to ten million, and he had no choice but to use Jiwei Residence to settle them,” Qiao Xiaomai said, glancing at Yu Zizhou. Noticing a twitch in his facial muscles, she turned her gaze back to Bei Yun.
